The Wellbeing and Engagement Census is designed to be a suite of services to support schools and school systems identify the needs of students and have information that helps them engage with children and their communities to plan practical responses.

We are very focussed on quality, scientific rigour, privacy protection, and harm minimisation. To that end we provide a suite of integrated services from refining the instrument to suit the needs of particular partners, development and implementation of privacy protecting protocols, data collection and management and report development and publication.

Our approach

The WEC provides you with evidence collected directly from students to monitor, guide and help build their wellbeing, acknowledging the growing recognition of how measuring student wellbeing helps to build the social-emotional and self-regulation skills they will need in adult life.

Our approach is to work in partnership with education systems to provide a suite of integrated services from refining the instrument to suit the needs of particular partners, development and implementation of privacy protecting protocols, data collection and management and report development and publication.

Quality, scientific rigour and harm minimisation have all been factored into the development of the products and services that we provide.
